Facility Inspections

Grade: B

We would like to point out that this facility's inspection rating exceeded its overall score. This facility earned a B in this area, which is one of our better grades. Inspection grades are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this nursing home's more respectable category scores was in the category of short-term care. This wound up being its second most favorable category. In that area, we awarded this facility a B-. With our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a decent grade in the category of long-term care, where it received a B-. Long-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of nursing care. This includes a vast range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 94.021736 percent of its residents, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final area we scored was nursing. It received a lowly F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is clearly a significant concern. Our nursing score is mostly associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This place averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
